  1. * Enorrste Post: The G.E.T. Team 7/21/10 July 21, 2010 · Posted on another site I have decided tonight to give you all a brief review of the FACTS of the situation prior to offering my take on the “where we are” part of my presentation. I don’t do this to fill time but do it instead for two simple reasons: first, there are “newbies” who have hardly a clue as to why they are involved in this investment. Second, there are many among you who are truly frustrated with the incessant delays and have come to question whether you have made a bad investment. In the next few minutes I hope to show you both that you have not only made a good investment, but also to show you that your investment is about to pay off for you. I will be as specific as I can in this effort, and I will also be as concise as I am able. I am aware from your comments in the forums that you appreciate how I “make it simple to understand”. Therefore, with your blessing, I will begin. Many people have questioned over the last several years whether this is a “pipe dream” or a real investment. We need to deal with that first, and foremost, so that we can dispense with it once and for all. In short, the question is this: Is this investment an “if” or is it a “when”? After that, we will ask another much more important question. Please bear with me. Our journey begins with information received from two sources. The first is truly amazing. It is also quite new to you all. This is not all review. You will be surprised to find out that the United States government made a decision as far back as the end of the Saddam Hussein regime to do what they did, and at that very time they also made it clear that this was a temporary decision. I had been told this some time ago, and actually believed it. But it was Muffin, from our own site, who presented me with the proof of this amazing reality. She sent me a file of 198 pages that says quite clearly that the decision to reduce the value of the IQD to toilet paper value was intentional on the part of the US. Furthermore, the document that she sent me, which I will post in the “files to download” section of our forums, says clearly that it was the intention of the US, as occupier of Iraq, to eventually re-instate the value of the IQD (known as the “new Dinar” in the file) to the value that it held in the 1970s. Furthermore, and this is extremely important, the same unclassified document also said in a footnote that it was important that this not be revealed too soon because of the potential speculative affect that it would have on the international markets when the currency was brought back to that 1970s level. Incidentally, that level, in the 1970s, was over $3.00 per dinar. This is totally new information to you all, and to the internet in general, and Muffin deserves the credit for having found it. We will post it on our site as a “file to download”, which, incidentally, no other website that I am aware of offers at this time. Our position is clear: the truth will come forth freely! Now, having said that, I’d like to present a brief synopsis of what happened after that classified document was written, and how it eventually became a reality, and how we can now know that we will see the dinar at its 1970s value of over $3.00 in the near future. Incidentally, friends, you won’t find this anywhere else, period. I’m not boasting. I’m just telling you the truth. Since that document was written as a classified document here is exactly what has occurred. I have written this in my book, which is free for download only on our site, but also may exist elsewhere, since I do have a history of moving from home to home. In any case, what I present here is a brief review of what I know to be true and can prove, and that is what is important, in my opinion. All of my comments are available in my book, with links, until I state otherwise. In September of 2005 an official statement was made in which it was announced that the “value” of the dinar was the responsibility of the Central Bank of Iraq while the “fiscal policy” was the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance. At that time it was stated that the dinar was grossly undervalued. More to the point is this fact from the article, which I have not presented before other than in my book, and which is quite telling. Here is the quote: “Lastly Zubaidi [in his] correspondence in reference to the International Monetary Fund in supporting the resolution of the Iraqi dinar noted that it was remarkable considering that the Central Bank of Iraq financially covers $ 11 billion dollars to support the value of the Iraqi dinar and that amount of cover is rarely found in the third world.” Now this was in 2005, folks, and it was clear then that the CBI was totally on top of things. They were way over the top in terms of supporting the value of the dinar, which then, as now, was toilet paper. Their reserves of 11 billion dollars were enormous in terms of what other third world countries had to cover their own currencies. I am just beginning. Please fasten your seat belts. On June 29, 2006 a statement was made by Mr. Al-Zubaidi that will blow your minds. I will quote what was written in the article posted that day: “The Ministry of Finance together with the Central Bank are studying a proposal to raise the value of the Iraqi dinar in order to return it to previous levels where one Iraqi dinar was valued at 3.33 US dollars.” For those of you who are new to this investment you are beginning to see why I am optimistic. But we are only at 2006. Let’s move on. I have to stop a moment. Does any other site do this? Think about that for a moment. Now, on January 21, 2007 Mr. Al-Zubaidi made another statement which was posted in the press. Here it is, and I quote: Al Zubaidi emphasized that the Ministry of Finance and in consultation with the Central Bank seeks to identify the exchange rate of the dollar at 1260 dinar during the this year. It also laid down a plan to restore the Iraqi dinar to its former era during the coming three years expressing his hope to stabilize its exchange rate at 1000 dinar for the dollar during the coming period. Now it is important to note that he stated that it was his “hope”, clear back in 2007, that the exchange rate would reach its value from the “former era”, namely before Saddam’ regime, for the dinar. This is not reported anywhere else on the internet, and we have him on record from that date that the dinar should return to the pre-Saddam value, for the second time! This was in January of 2007. In August of 2008, about 18 months later we received another article of confirmation regarding the intentions of the Iraqi government. Here is a quote: “The Finance Ministry has prepared a plan to increase the value of the dinar against the dollar and then delete the three zeroes from the dinar’s value to contribute to the advancement of the Iraqi economy during the coming period.” It was here that the problems with the “lop” theory began, because the term “delete the three zeros from the dinar’s value” was introduced into the discussion. However, this was way back in 2008. All we needed to do was wait for the Iraqis to give us more information, and it would all become clear. We finally got their answer on February 10, 2010, this year. Here are the clear quotes from the the Radio Free Iraq press: The Iraqi Central Bank is planning to redenominate the national currency in an effort to ease transactions and allow people to carry less paper money. That seems clear enough. But there was more: “Muhammad Salih, a member of a Central Bank advisory panel, told RFI that a plan has been made to remove three zeros from the currency and phase out the current banknotes late this year. “Salih said by the end of 2010 the new banknotes will be fully introduced while the old banknotes will be gradually removed from circulation. “Both will be legal tender in Iraq until the old notes are completely withdrawn.” Now, if this was unclear to anyone, and it certainly should not be, a statement was made again on February 10, only four days later, to clarify the intentions of the Central Bank of Iraq and the Ministry of Finance. Here is a quote from the article: The CBI begins at the end of the year and gradually will replace the currency now in circulation and a new currency in which zeroes are deleted is within the strategy to reform the monetary system started in 2005. It is important to note here that this article is stating exactly what I have stated, namely that this process was started in 2005. Muffin’s sending me this confirmed to me absolutely that this is not just an Iraqi plan but more importantly that it is the UN/US plan, and has been from the beginning. This is very important, my friends. I’m just getting going now. On the very next day Mr. Al-Zubaidi, the head of the Ministry of Finance, said the following, and I quote from the article: The proposal to raise three zeroes from the currency will be in accordance with the right monetary policy and is not gradual, as happened in Turkey and this policy will raise the monetary value of the Iraqi currency and will Strengthen the Iraqi dinar against all currencies. I have shortened the actual quote there but the content remains the same. Not a week later Mr. Shabibi, the head of the Central Bank of Iraq went on record himself before the IMF. He wrote a “Letter of Intent” to them which was written just before Al-Zubaidi’s public announcement but was published shortly thereafter. The letter itself is dated February 8, 2010. In his Letter of Intent to the IMF he announced, essentially to the world, that the Iraqi dinar would “enter the international financial markets”. Furthermore, he stated that it would happen in “the near future”. Even more telling, he announced that on entering that market that the IQD would be on a “managed float”. Now, all of this is consistent with the following, and this is why I have presented it: First, it is now known that this was the plan of the United States for Iraq from the beginning. This comes from the 198 page document that Muffin sent me and confirms what I had written in my book, but adds that it was the US plan and not just an Iraqi plan. Second, this has been shown to have been planned from 2005 and that Iraq is only following the plan. Third, by announcing that Iraq is ready to bring the IQD to the international market “in the near future” we can clearly see that Shabibi of the CBI was ready clear back in February when I published my book. So, what has happened since then, and, more particularly, what is holding up the RV? If you will indulge me a little longer I will give you the outline of what has happened since then. At the end of this, hopefully, everyone on this call will know, without a hesitation of a doubt, that your investment is not only real, but also that it will pay off, big time. So, let’s move forward. I hope I haven’t lost you all, yet. We see now that the entire issue of the revaluing of the dinar was set in stone by the US government 5 years ago and that the plan was well underway by the Iraqi government. We also see that they were following the “orders” as written for 5 years now. This should seal for all of you this fact: this is not an “if” question; it is now a “when” question. Therefore for those of you who have been in this for years, relax. This will happen, and soon. Let’s see why that is the case. The dinar was set to RV in late December or early this year. Both Maliki and Shabibi indicated that in correspondence with the UN, in Maliki’s case, and in the press, in Shabibi’s case. I won’t bother you with the quotes from here on since it is available somewhere on the net, either on Adam’s site, dont promote other sitess’, or another site. It was presented there by me and is still in there archives. In any case, I will reproduce this at the GET TEAM site in short order so that you will all know that I’m not a “bloviator”, as O’Reilly uses the term. Unfortunately the entire RV scenario came to a halt with the election in Iraq. Our “blessing” as Frank calls it, has been delayed. We all know what has happened over that last four months. I will state this simple fact: the entire delay is due to one man only. If you are not aware of whom I am speaking then I suggest you find another site to follow. This is not a game. This is our investment. I am trying very hard to elevate the discussion so that we all can see what is happening and where we are, today. Now, 20 minutes into our time together, let’s figure out where we are. I will now move into the immediate present and the near future, since I’ve bored you enough. As I predicted some weeks ago the alliances have now been formed. I am confident in stating this since Al-Sadr himself has stated it. Here is the way that this will play out. Al-Sadr has finally made a commitment, as of today only. He has sided with Allawi. This is in spite of Maliki’s attempt to sway him to the State of Law side by offering to release prisoners. However, Al-Sadr, a cleric, and a Shiite, has figured out that Maliki cannot be trusted. He knew this from the beginning but gave the man an opportunity to show his cards. Clearly, the cards were not sufficient to sway Al-Sadr. What was amazing, to me, was that Al-Sadr also failed to show his own cards with Allawi when they met in Damascus a couple of days ago. Yet today he said it, and he said it clearly. Without endorsing Allawi directly he stated that the Iraqiya List, which is the Allawi group, has finally found the solution to form the new government. Having said this, I predict that the new government will be announced within the next day or two at the most, and almost certainly tomorrow (I’m writing this on Tuesday night). Whether Maliki has a place in the government is now, in my opinion, a moot point. I’m interested in my investment! I expect the announcement of the new government to be made forthwith, as in the next day or so. The government will be based on a Triangle, as Al-Sadr hinted, made of three bases. The three bases, as I predicted some weeks ago, will be the Kurdish Alliance, The Iraqiya List, which is Sunnis, and the National Alliance, which is the Shiites. Whether, and to what extent, Maliki participates, will not change the results. Shortly thereafter, and I suspect within a day or so, we will see two things happen. Those two things are the release of Iraq from Chapter 7 and the revaluation of the currency. The fact is that the release from Chapter 7 has, in my opinion, always been conditioned on the position of Maliki in the new government. As long as he is not in the PM position, Chapter 7 will be released. Along with that will come the revaluation. I have always believed that the Chapter 7 and the revaluation were “quid pro quo” deals, meaning that one went with the other. But I’ve also contended that Chapter 7 release was Maliki’s hang up and not that of the entire country of Iraq. Furthermore, I’ve held that the UN has withheld the release of Chapter 7 almost solely because it was so important to Maliki. This ultimately has come down to politics. Unfortunately for Maliki, he was playing in a bigger league than he knew. The UN held firm while at the same time the IMF pressed forward toward the finish line. The RV was always the prize. Yet Maliki will be shown to be the one who could not deliver, in my opinion. That “crown” will go to Allawi. With that crown, incidentally, will come a lot of “perks”. It is my view that because Allawi will be shown to have “come through” for the people, this will benefit him tremendously and he will become a very powerful man. I’d love to talk more about that, but my investment, and yours, is the first item on the plate. I look for our investment to pay off before Ramadan, before August 4, which is one of Frank’s dates, and, hopefully, later this week. Of course I could be wrong.

  2. Hakim calls for Maliki to step down as a prelude to forming a new government 2010-07-22 4:19:29 PM 2010-07-22 4:19:29 PM دعا رئيس المجلس الأعلى عمار الحكيم اليوم الخميس المالكي للتنحي وإفساح الطريق أمام آخرين لتشكيل حكومة جديدة في العراق وإنهاء حالة الفراغ السياسي في البلاد. The Chairman of the Supreme Council Ammar al-Hakim al-Maliki on Thursday to step down and make way for others to form a new government in Iraq and end the political vacuum in the country. ونفى الحكيم الذي يرأس الائتلاف الوطني اتهامات بأن يكون المجلس الأعلى هو السبب في تأخير تشكيل الحكومة وانتقد المالكي قائلا انه يتعين عليه سحب اسمه من الترشيح لمنصب رئيس الوزراء لتمهيد الطريق أمام تشكيل الحكومة الجديدة. He denied Hakim, who heads the national coalition charges that the Supreme Council shall be to delay the formation of the government and criticized the Maliki, saying he should withdraw his name from nomination for prime minister to pave the way for the formation of the new government. ويدعم "حزب دولة القانون" بقاء المالكي رئيسا للحكومة لكن حزبا رئيسيا في التحالف الوطني العراقي وهو كتلة الصدريين بزعامة مقتدى الصدر يعارض استمرار المالكي في رئاسة الوزراء. And supports the "Party of the State law," the survival of al-Maliki as prime minister but the major party in the Iraqi National Alliance, a Sadrist bloc led by Moqtada al-Sadr oppose the continuation of al-Maliki as prime minister. كما حث الحكيم كل السياسيين العراقيين على بذل قصارى جهدهم من أجل التوصل الى حل قبل جلسة البرلمان المقررة يوم 28 تموز (يوليو) قائلا ان أي تأخير آخر أمر غير مقبول. Hakim also urged all Iraqi politicians to make every effort to reach a solution before the parliamentary session on July 28 (July), saying any further delay is unacceptable. وكان من المقرر أن يجتمع البرلمان في 14 تموز (يوليو) لكنه أجل جلسته لمدة أسبوعين بعد فشل السياسيين العراقيين في إحراز أي تقدم في محادثات تشكيل الحكومة الائتلافية. It was scheduled to meet parliament on July 14 (July), but its order for two weeks after the failure of Iraqi politicians to make any progress in talks on forming a coalition government. http://translate.goo...uYcac-tFTiKy4WA

  3. Basically that is correct but that dinar may be in the Federal Reserve. Which means that it is not owned by that US Gov. If the US gov. has some stashed somewhere else that someone can bring that forward but in either case do not ever think for one minute that this government will ever announce that our debt is paid off to any degree. Even though this war and recovery was paid for by the blood of our soldiers and the hard earned dollars of US citizens it is my opinion that it will never be announce that we have been reimbursed in any way. To do so would mean that they would have to lower our taxes in some way and that will never happen. Government is not in the business of making money they only take and spend it.

  5. Hani Ashour: Allawi is able to form a government within three days only جعفر باقر - 22/07/2010م - 1:33 م | عدد القراء: 193 Jaafar Baker - 07/22/2010 - 13:33 | Hits: 193 أكد مستشار القائمة العراقية هاني عاشور أن زعيم القائمة اياد علاوي قادر على تشكيل الحكومة خلال ثلاثة أيام فقط وبمشاركة جميع الإطراف السياسية.

  6. Thanks for the post sparklingblue. While that RV date range is certainly possible, it doesn't make sense to me that the democrats would want to hold off the RV for the reasons given of "Tax and Political." If Biden, et al, were truly concerned about the Tax implications they would be better off pushing the RV date to 2011 when the tax rates will be so much higher. They will get a lot more of our money in 2011 so why wouldn't they just hold off until that point? If it RV's in Sept/October it's still in the 2010 tax year when rates are cheaper. Also, I'm not seeing how the late September/October RV date will help the mid-term elections as well as an early RV will. Yes, the situation in Iraq is important to us and we follow it every day but the majority of Americans don't know or really care about what's going on there except most want the troops out of there which is being done regardless of RV date. It takes a while for good things to trickle down through the economy and affect every day people. If the deficit will be helped by the RV it seems that the politicians would want to get the word out about that as early as possible and loudly as possible to ensure it gets out to as many people as possible. Another thing is the whole 'suitcase of cash' story. Since the IMF apparently controls when the RV happens and there's no government leader in Iraq yet, who in Iraq would Biden give the suitcase too? If the IMF says to RV Shabibi will pull the trigger. No suitcase of cash will prevent that. I don't know. I could be wrong but none of these reasons or stories make sense to me.

  7. Quick update... Called a friend from another international firm that works on major construction sites throughout the world and mostly in third world countries. He said it is common to always have the country pay in the contractor's own country currency. It is something called currency risk and helps to avoid substantial currency fluctuations in their currency. Obviously it goes the other way too. That country may not want to pay a premium if it goes up too much. Sometimes they work out agreements that if it goes up more than 10% or so that adjustments will be made. It is also entirely possible that a corporation may see opportunity in the host country's currency and will elect to be paid in it sometimes too. Free money he says. This kind of debunks my last sentence in my post about making the contractor convert the currency. Should've waited...

  8. John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6 am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG) He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA) After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN ) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA ) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY ) filled it with GAS (from Saudi Arabia ) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (made in MALAYSIA ), John decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL), poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in AMERICA AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT MADE IN KENYA.

  9. Weren't they supposed to announce a big surprise to the Iraqi people? Did I sleep Through it? When I was a bouncer I had a lot less problems telling drunk, beligerant, combative people to SIT DOWN!!!! This is just a rant and I don't want to offend any body but those idiots over there would argue over who won the camel race even if the second place rider crossed the finish line 2 days later. sheesh!!!! enough already just make your annoucements and get on with the formation of the GOI. I would say that we should all sign a petition for them in favor of taking a seat but they would just assign a ministry to evaluate it. Then they will ask for 15 days to release there findings and 20 days after they were supposed to release there findings they would ask for another 15 days. Quit wipping your buts with the dinar, revalue it so you can afford to buy some Charmin, and if it will help you decide faster I will over night a roll of it to you. Al- Maliki you lost so get off the pot it's Allawi's turn. We should have a rant forum LOL!!!!!!!!

  12. Personally, I am sick of all the Obama bashing, Bush bashing and bashing of the government in general. Can we please focus on why we all are really here? I thought we wanted information about our dinar investment. At least that's why I come to this site. I'm starting to believe that I made a mistake in joining because all you people want to do is see how many agree with your right wing ideals. It is a waste of time. BACK TO THE DINAR NEWS PLEASE!!!!!

  14. Iraq confirms that the meeting Allawi, Sadr, Arbil accelerate the formation of the government and the state law precluded agreement Author: ASM Editor: AH | HAH Thursday, 22 تموز 2010 13:53 GMT Alsumaria News / Baghdad Announced a leading role in the Iraqi List, Thursday, to meet with the leader list Iyad Allawi and Moqtada al-Sadr in Erbil will focus on the rapid formation of the next government, saying that the chances for Maliki to take over as prime minister has become weak, while ruling out a leading role in a coalition of law reached Iraq and the Sadrists to the deal that will lead to the formation of the government, describing the meetings as a review of their views will not change the positions of the parties. The leader of the Iraqi Mohammed Allawi said in an interview for "Sumerian News," "The meeting is expected to take place between Iyad Allawi, leader of the Sadrist movement in the house of Massoud Barzani in Arbil, will discuss the issue of rapid formation of the government and the constitutionalism of the Iraqi list to take over as prime minister," noting that " Kurdistan Alliance and the National Coalition and from the Sadr movement emphasized the right of the Iraqi government formation ". The Iraqi List, announced on Wednesday that the Kurdish regional President Massoud Barzani invited the cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's visit to Irbil on Thursday, is likely a similar call for Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, the leader of a coalition of Iraq Iyad Allawi to hold a joint meeting for the purpose of discussing the crisis in forming a government. He said Allawi, a very close to Iyad Allawi, and participate in all meetings of the negotiations, said "The visit of the leader of the Iraqi List Arbil was not planned but coincided with the call by the President of the Region to the leader of Sadr's Muqtada al-Sadr," noting that "Iraq has a major issue we We continue to call for them is the issue of the elections which will be discussed during the meeting, significantly, "he says. He said Allawi, "the failure of the political blocs to agree on a candidate as prime minister so far (in reference to the National Alliance) and the position of Moqtada al-Sadr during a meeting with Allawi in Damascus, al-Maliki, all of which assert the recognition of entitlement to the Iraqi constitutional form the next government," and urged the political blocs to "rushing in and save the country from high risk before the entry into force of the time." The leader of the Iraqi List, "The upcoming meeting between the Iraqi and the leader of the Sadr movement will focus on giving the Iraqi constitutional right to assume the post of prime minister, the fact that most of the blocks our rights is moving toward a constitutional," he says. Allawi predicted that "the agreement is reached between the political blocs on the presidencies of the three positions (ministers, the Republic and the Parliament) during the meeting of the blocks on Sunday," asserting that "all blocs seeking to resolve the crisis to form a government as soon as possible." The Iraqi List, announced on San spokesman Haider Mulla on Wednesday, the cleric Moqtada al-Sadr did not oppose Allawi as prime minister, saying that the interpretation of the largest bloc, which won the largest number of votes in the elections is the only solution to the crisis of the formation of the government, which caused the breach of responsibility to the Iraqi constitutional threw it on the National Alliance. Conducted cleric Muqtada al-Sadr on Saturday and over the days, intensive meetings in Damascus with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Syrian officials also held a meeting with the President of the Iraqi List Iyad Allawi on Monday, which in turn held by a meeting with Al-two meetings with the Syrian President, has confirmed leadership in Iraq, Muhammad Allawi said in an interview for "Alsumaria News" that the meeting of the delegation of the list headed by Iyad Allawi, leader of Sadr's Muqtada al-Sadr in Damascus has resulted in an agreement to form joint committees to develop a program to form the next government in the framework of the alliance between the Iraqi List and the National Coalition of all Functions which includes the Sadrists and the Supreme Council and other components, as revealed al-Sadr, during a press conference after the meeting with the Iraqi List headed to make some concessions in order to accelerate the formation of the government, also called on the various political parties to make concessions in order to solve the crisis of forming a government. For his part, ruled out a coalition member of the state of law Fouad Aldruki reach Iraq and the Sadrists, the agreement between the two leads to the formation of the government, "noting that" the meetings that took place between the two is just a review of views will not change the positions of the parties. " The Alldorki in an interview with "Alsumaria News", the "Meet-Sadr and Allawi is not more than one occasion for an exchange of views between the parties will not result in an agreement to form a government," noting that "agendas and positions of both parties differing on many important issues that the Iraqi List, a dimension Arab reservations on its alliance with the Sadrists. " The Aldruki one of the leaders of the Dawa Party, led by Nuri al-Maliki that "as some political parties to renew the mandate of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a red line is a reflection of the positions of certain regional and does not represent the opinion of Iraqi political parties," Emtemha some neighboring countries to "intervene in the matter hinder the efforts of the Iraqi political blocs to form the next government. " The leader in advocating that "some political blocs formed by the support of neighboring countries and these countries are able to intervene in the attitudes and decisions of these blocks," he said. Through Alldorki believed that the "reservation the National Coalition to take on al-Maliki for a second term, an attempt to press for access to the benefits, privileges and positions in the next government," saying "there is no rejection of the person-Maliki to the National Coalition, and the goal of propagating the lies they are trying to achieve their own terms from behind their ad reservation Maliki "he said. He favored the leadership in the state of law, "near to reaching agreement between the forces of the National Alliance, to select a Prime Minister, represents the coalition," referring to an "agreement in sight" in this regard, refusing to disclose further details. The Alldorki that "Sadr asked already state law, the release of his captors before agreeing to give al-Maliki for a second term," noting that "state law seeks to deal with this issue through a committee set up to examine all files of detainees and not files of detainees from Sadr's movement only." He Alldorki that "the prime minister has formed at the time of the former committees to audit the records of all prisoners are still working, which resulted in the release of 1200 prisoners, including 350 prisoners from the Sadrist movement, before the commencement of consultations with the Sadrists to form a government," stressing that "this step is not taken politically motivated, but motivated by moral aims for the realization of the right and remedies which may impact on some of the detainees because of the gravity of the events in Iraq because of errors or informants. " He Aldruki that "prove his innocence or subjected to injustice because of the complexity of events in Iraq over the past years will be released," Mady said, "but this would not include those convicted of crimes that killed other people." The political source revealed in an interview with "Alsumaria News", the political body of the Sadrist movement demanded that the coalition of the rule of law, led by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, the release of all detainees from the followers of Sadr's movement, including sentenced to death, to start any dialogue to form a government, in the while the source pointed out that al-Maliki has become more chances to form a government, but it remains "under the test-Sadr," threatened to boycott the Iraqi List any government formed by al-Maliki. The leaked press release, reported over the last few days, that the meetings of the Syrian president with Allawi and al-Sadr aimed at agreement on a draft power-sharing between the Iraqi National Coalition, and the exclusion of a coalition of law from this project, while affirming the rule of law near agreement with the Sadrists and the acceptance its terms, foremost of which is the release of all his captors and the reform of the government program, and increase the share of the power of ministerial seats. And pass the political situation in Iraq, a constitutional crisis now, especially with the agreement of the political blocs in the twelfth month to the breach of the deadline set by the Constitution to elect the President of the Republic over the postponement of the parliamentary session, and requested the President of the Republic ended its mandate from the Iraqi judiciary to express an opinion on the constitutionality of the next stage, it was reported Supreme Judicial Council to allow the President to continue its powers until the election of another president, with the constitutional recognition of the breach, which occurred. The Iraqi constitution mandates that the President calls for new Council of Representatives to convene within 15 days of the court's endorsement of federal election results, should the new Council be chosen at the first meeting as Chairman and two Vice-Presidents and an absolute majority of the members of the House and through the election by direct secret ballot, and then the Council House of Representatives during a maximum period of thirty days after the election of the President, and the latter to within 15 days after his election, commissioned candidate of the largest in the House of Representatives to form a government, and is to the Prime Minister in charge of thirty days to complete the task, if not successful president assigns people substitute. Saw the stations of the political process in Iraq delays exceeded the time limit set by the Constitution, as happened during the period of the agreement on the constitution in 2005, and the formation of the government after the 2005 elections, through the enactment of provincial elections in 2009, and also with the enactment of the recent parliamentary elections. In addition to that of the previous parliament sessions of atherosclerosis and the procrastination of some parliamentary blocs led to the disruption of important constitutional legislation formations, such as the Constitutional Court and the accountability and justice. And led the parliamentary elections which took place in the seventh of last March to more than four months of political paralysis in the absence of a clear winner and convergence in the results (Iraq 91 seats, the rule of law, 89 seats out of a total of 325 represents the total number of seats in parliament) as the country experienced after the election of violence, U.S. forces are preparing to end the hostilities on August 31 before a full withdrawal in the next year. http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=ar&tl=en&u=http://www.alsumarianews.com/ar/1/9186/news-details-Iraq%2520politics%2520news.html&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&usg=ALkJrhgAimn46Cx9LOOVvIpIHLf4sKYEmw

  15. Medic thinks he is sooooooo smart...........yet he has predicted the rv at least 100 times in the last 7 years! Not bashing him, just stating a FACT! Anyone who follows & believes in this clown needs to do a little research & they may be unpleasantly surprised. What irks me the most is how he gets so upset when people disbelieve what he says. Not to mention the obvious fact that he considers himself to be a dinar teacher & none of his pupils better ever step out of line with him or his way of thinking (or not thinking)! I realize there are many gurus out there that have thrown out many wrong dates....but this guy has taken it to the next level. Anyway.......I just needed to release a little frustration! Peace

Iraq: Allawi is able to form a government within 3 days Post: by zzz Iraq4All News - Thursday, July 22nd, 2010 @ 13:01 GMT Adviser said the Iraqi List Hani Ashouran Iraqi List has a road map to form a government according to a ready list and President Iyad Allawi is able to form a three-day event in recognition of Iraqi political blocs have the right to constitutional and electoral systems.

He added that the recognition of the right of the Iraqi political blocs is the way to speed up the formation of the government and that Allawi is able to set up within three days in the event of recognition of the right of the Iraqi political blocs have the constitutional and electoral systems. He explained that the leader of the menu Allawi, during his meetings with the leader of the rule of law Nuri al-Maliki and Muqtada al-Sadr and leaders of the National Alliance and the Kurdish leaders stressed the right of the Iraqi List and the adoption of the principle of national partnership in forming a government of all blocs fairly and without acquisition of the rights of others, according to the results of the elections, out of the current crisis.

  18. My feelings are this ---> In order to use this for political gain you would need the RV before October. The trickle down affect of the RV will take longer than a month in my opinion. So I am not buying the fact this will help politically in the USA. I do however think the RV will be in or around October …. I also do not think our government wants the average Joe to know how they are going to wipe out US debt. So I am of the opinion they will make it look like Obama policy erased the debt. In order for this to work it will need to look like it happen over the next few years. I could be wrong but a sudden decrease in the debt would require some explanation to the people of this country. Of course this is my opinion and I usually keep them to myself lol!

  19. Let me begin with, thank you for the post Trimark (+1). The post was well laid out and makes a lot of sense. My problem is with the author and may I lay out my argument as well as he did with his own words. “I’m not boasting.” 1. you appreciate how I “make it simple to understand” 2. which, incidentally, no other website that I am aware of offers at this time 3. Incidentally, friends, you won’t find this anywhere else, period. I’m not boasting. 4. I have written this in my book, which is free for download only on our site 5. All of my comments are available in my book 6. which I have not presented before other than in my book 7. I have to stop a moment. Does any other site do this? 8. This is not reported anywhere else on the internet 9. it is important to note here that this article is stating exactly what I have stated 10. and confirms what I had written in my book 11. It was presented there by me and is still in there archives 12. As I predicted some weeks ago 13. The fact is that the release from Chapter 7 has, in my opinion, (is it fact or opinion) From the past: 6/30/2010 Therefore, IMO, this will not be allowed to drag out to the 14th of July, and then some time after. The situation is too critical worldwide for this to be delayed any farther. 6/25/2010 8:19 PM [enorrste] I believe that there is enough evidence now to feel confident that Allawi has sealed the deal for the PM position 8:19 PM [enorrste] and that is will be announced/voted on this Monday as Parliament reconvenes 6/21/2010 However, my biggest argument for an RV this week is essentially drawn from logic. Here is how I see it: Al-Sistani has basically put the "fear of Allah" into he minds of the key players. - Maliki has dropped out of the picture (have you heard from him in the last 2 weeks) - Allawi has formed a coalition with the Kurds - The NA has been formed, joining the two Shia factions That should be enough to get my point across. I want to believe him, I would love to believe him, but I just can’t make myself do it.

  20. <B> Greetings Family, Today BLESSEDMA1 is bringing us a prayer. Please enjoy! ABBA Father: Hello my Father. I know that You of all people know this already...but today is my birthday. Today is the anniversary of the day that You looked down from heaven and chose this day to put me into my body. I know that I am not an accident. I know that even though my parents were not always around and my mother was very abusive, that You made the perfect DNA thru them to make me. I was not an afterthought, a mistake, a burden, unloved or unwanted........in Your eyes. I know that You knew me before I knew me.....and You love me anyway. Who else in this world can offer me that kind of love? NO ONE!! If I was given one special birthday gift, TODAY, it would be that everyone in every remote spot of the world would honor You, worship You, praise you, give homage to You, hunger for more of You and bask in Your love...and at the end of the day, we would all stop what we are doing to face Your heavens, raise our hands to the sky and tell you how grateful we really are. No child would go hungry or be abused; no elderly person would feel useless or unloved; no single parent would feel incompetent and alone; none of Your children would suffer in any way.....that is my birthday wish today. I pray that You watch over this special KTFM family and place a hedge of protection around all of us; our families and friends. As well, keep the admin/mods safe from harm and danger as they attempt to keep everyone on Your path. Heal our hearts from the pain of loss that we feel. Thanks for going ahead of all of us and making every crooked place straight as well as forgiving us for every sin before the repentence leaves our lips. I pray a special forcefield of protection over Frank and Jan and their family. God, You have created them with such pure hearts and souls. I have never experienced such selfless love from another human being, as I have from them. Help us to forgive the people being used by the enemy to try and hurt them, lie to and about them, defame them, slander them, disrespect them and hinder them. NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST THEM SHALL PROSPER!!! Give them strength, courage and the ability to MOVE FORWARD IN FAITH. I pray you wave Your healing hand over Frank. He never speaks about what he goes thru physically, emotionally and spiritually to bring us daily information. Refesh their bodies, minds and spirits to keep moving as the enemy continues to aim his evil slings and arrows at them as they continue down Your path, hand in hand, to do the work You have requested them to do. Lord, help us to not react in our flesh to try and defend them or retaliate. Help us to remember that You promised us that You would fight our battles for us and that sometimes, it is the best thing to sit still and wait on You. We pray grace and mercy on those people who are trying to hurt them. We honor You; glorify You; thank You ahead of time for all You have done, are doing and will do on our behalf. Help us to recognize and thank You for every, tiny, little blessing. Forgive us when we forcus on the RI and not You. We bless Your Holy name....thanks for how You sent Your only Son to carry the load for us, asking for nothing but our love and obedience in return. We will never take advantage of the precious blood He shed for us nor take for granted every miraculous drop. Thanks for my life God and allowing me to be born and live such a rich life. Thanks for knowing every hair on my head and freckle on my face; knowing every sin I have or will commit, and loving me anyway. YOU ARE AN AMAZING GOD!! ABBA father. Good evening Family, “Bells will be ringing, the glad, glad news oh, what a Christmas, to have the Blues”……….I like this Christmas carol very much and I am grateful that last night on our CC ……..there were no bells ringing! LOL……….sorry JMT just had to throw that in. IMO Sir…….you and Joe did a wonderful job as the emcees to our CC and I applaud the both of you. It is nice to be able to have the ability to do our CC in multiple languages. To be bilingual is a gift………that should be used. I had a wonderful time talking with so many nice people. It comforts me to know that even in the darkest caves ……..we who believe in God will never walk alone. Such was the feeling that I had as we shared Christian love with each other last night. Your friendship on one side of me and God’s love on the other……..makes for a full Blue Couch doesn’t it? LOL. Next week I am inviting a guest …….TERRYK to join me as you listen to us discussing our investment. It was his wedding anniversary yesterday …….congrats to the both of you and may the Lord give you many more years together…….as one. Today three admins have traveled from afar to visit TINK and I. I will be taking them to see the location of the Toledo Ohio Office. I know they will be very impressed. In fact……..I plan to ask one of them to type me a report on their opinion of what they saw. I will post it and share it with you. Today we were supposed to hear of a “Surprise” from those that are in charge of the GOI. Like a rock being thrown into a bottomless pit………I hear nothing. Is that a surprise to you Family? Well it shouldn’t be……you know very well not to trust the GOI by now. Hence the reason why I told you yesterday on our CC …..that our time table for them to tell us about parliament seating ……….encompasses the 16th to the 26th. That intel came on the 15th. Based on their monotonous stubborn pattern our team did not anticipate that they would SURPRISE anyone today on the 21st. Like a child that constantly kicks you in the shins and you tell him ………STOP IT!!! ……….he just continues to do the most irritating thing possible. Our team concluded that they would PUSH the announcement of elected officials until the last usual NANO SECONDS. So today an article comes out saying that A and akunamatata ………I mean Meqtada Al Sadar did not come to a conclusion last night when they met behind closed doors for hours. So ……..they have made the proper and wise decision to meet once again this coming Sunday on the 25th. Well of course…….their predictable pattern once again. Because the following day is the ………26th. Everything from China RV’ing a second time in 2010 to the final payment of 3 TRILLION dinars owed to GE will be done on that day. When you finish with my post tonight Family……..immediately after you will find AQ’s treasure troves for you. Where as I covered the far end of this time frame ………to the 26th ……she will tell you something about O and tonight. I presented it to you last Saturday……..let’s see how it turns out. We told you that during the 4th of July weekend 4 arrived with a strong message. Get it done or we will repeat 2005. AQ showed you an article this morning around 9:30am where the MOP commented how the UN may actually be compelled to intervene with their government. Yup………it’s the fear of losing control of their new power to the UN that is causing such rapid movements to form the GOI. It was even announced today in an article that KU will allow the opening of a border crossing to develop Iraq oil fields. Wow……..KU wants to help Iraq? Last week I said it was like the Hatfields skinny dipping with the McCoys. Well this week it sounds like a wedding without the shotgun. My goodness the next thing you know is the HCL is announced. (tongue in cheek) The troop pullout is increasing exponentially ………somehow or another I sense this urgency to be related to the RI. I told you last week that even though we are pulling out……WE WILL NEVER LEAVE IRAQ! Look at all the other ME places that have worked with us to improve their way of life and allowed our military bases there. Look at the fact that a new general has been assigned to a new campaign in the theater of the ME. He will need new troops assigned to his campaign. Granted the number will be less but our sting loses no power. Knowledge is powerful and so is our technology. There is much to be guarded……..there was much invested. Below is an example of less manpower and an influx of more technology requiring less soldiers. For those that think we are not serious about protecting Iraq and her oil for the future……they should enjoy the following: The Grim Reaper Plane BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq (AP) The airplane is the size of a jet fighter, powered by a turboprop engine, able to fly at 300 mph and reach 50,000 feet. It is outfitted with infrared, laser and radar targeting, and with a ton and a half of guided bombs and missiles. The Reaper is loaded, but there is no one on board. Its pilot, as it bombs targets in Iraq , will sit at a video console 7,000 miles away in Nevada ... The arrival of these outsized U...S. "hunter-killer" drones, in aviation history's first robot attack squadron, will be a watershed moment even in an Iraq that has seen too many innovative ways to hunt and kill. That moment, one the Air Force will likely low-key, is expected "soon," says the regional U.S. .. air commander. How soon? "We're still working that," Lt. Gen. Gary North said in an interview. The Reaper's first combat deployment is expected in Afghanistan , and senior Air Force officers estimate it will land in Iraq sometime between this fall and next spring. They look forward to it. "With more Reapers, I could send manned airplanes home," North said. The Associated Press has learned that the Air Force is building a 400,000-square-foot expansion of the concrete ramp area now used for Predator drones here at Balad, the biggest U.S. air base in Iraq , 50 miles north of Baghdad . That new staging area could be turned over to Reapers. It is another sign that the Air Force is planning for an extended stay in Iraq , supporting Iraqi government forces in any continuing conflict, even if U.S. ground troops are drawn down in the coming years. The estimated two dozen or more unmanned MQ-1 Predators now doing surveillance over Iraq , as the 46th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, have become mainstays of the U.S. war effort, offering round-the-clock airborne "eyes" watching over road convoys, tracking nighttime insurgent movements via infrared sensors, and occasionally unleashing one of their two Hellfire missiles on a target. From about 36,000 flying hours in 2005, the Predators are expected to log 66,000 hours this year over Iraq and Afghanistan . The MQ-9 Reaper, when compared with the 1995-vintage Predator, represents a major evolution of the unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV. At five tons gross weight, the Reaper is four times heavier than the Predator. Its size 36 feet long, with a 66-foot wingspan is comparable to the profile of the Air Force's workhorse A-10 attack plane. It can fly twice as fast and twice as high as the Predator. Most significantly, it carries many more weapons. UNDER THE RADAR: Air Force ramps up in Iraq While the Predator is armed with two Hellfire missiles, the Reaper can carry 14 of the air-to-ground weapons, or four Hellfires and two 500-pound bombs. "It's not a recon squadron," Col. Joe Guasella, operations chief for the Central Command's air component, said of the Reapers. "It's an attack squadron, with a lot more kinetic ability." "Kinetic" Pentagon argot for destructive power is what the Air Force had in mind when it christened its newest robot plane with a name associated with death. "The name Reaper captures the lethal nature of this new weapon system," Gen. T. Michael Moseley, Air Force chief of staff, said in announcing the name last September. General Atomics of San Diego has built at least nine of the MQ-9s thus far, at a cost of $69 million per set of four aircraft, with ground equipment. The Air Force's 432nd Wing, a UAV unit formally established on May 1, is to eventually fly 60 Reapers and 160 Predators. The numbers to be assigned to Iraq and Afghanistan will be classified. The Reaper is expected to be flown as the Predator is by a two-member team of pilot and sensor operator who work at computer control stations and video screens that display what the UAV "sees." Teams at Balad, housed in a hangar beside the runways, perform the takeoffs and landings, and similar teams at Nevada 's Creech Air Force Base, linked to the aircraft via satellite, take over for the long hours of overflying the Iraqi landscape. American ground troops , equipped with laptops that can download real-time video from UAVs overhead, "want more and more of it," said Maj. Chris Snodgrass, the Predator squadron commander here. The Reaper's speed will help. "Our problem is speed," Snodgrass said of the 140-mph Predator. "If there are troops in contact, we may not get there fast enough.. The Reaper will be faster and fly farther." The new robot plane is expected to be able to stay aloft for 14 hours fully armed, watching an area and waiting for targets to emerge. "It's going to bring us flexibility, range, speed and persistence," said regional commander North, "such that I will be able to work lots of areas for a long, long time." The British also are impressed with the Reaper, and are buying three for deployment in Afghanistan later this year. The Royal Air Force version will stick to the "recon" mission, however, no weapons on board. Well I now go to meet our three admins. We have a fourth one that will be arriving this Friday to meet with us as well. Make sure that you wish BLESSEDMA1 a blessed birthday. Our treasurer CRITTERMOM’s husband is also celebrating a birthday today. God bless them both and anyone else that was given the breath of life on this day. Finally……..Ali is having trouble with his new comment box where you tell them you are a KTFM member to receive your discount. YOU NEED TO LOOK AT YOUR TOTAL BEFORE FINALIZING YOUR ORDER. If you did not receive your discount in that figure……..call the office directly and tell them there is an error. Here is Ali's response that came in while I was doing my post: Frank, They must put KTFM in the promo code box, not the comments box anymore. Be sure to let them know it is the promo code box and that the code is KTFM. If you send me the order numbers of the individuals I can take a look to see what had happened. Thanks Ali Dinar Trade Inc www.dinartrade.com Tel:877 770 7660 A dear friend of mine who is an airline pilot ordered a very large amount and never paid attention to the receipt. Get your earned KTFM discount Family if you should order from Ali. Now this is the part where some third world individuals will grab the spray paint and graffiti anywhere they can……….that I am a pumper of dinars for Ali. I could care less if you order dinars from Ali or not. But I care greatly when you do not receive something that was promised to me ………to you. My Christian love and Aloha. KTF, Frank PS~ A member called me today with a special need. Unfortunately he has to sell one million dinars. He is asking $975 for them and if you should fine interest please send me a pm and I will direct you to him. I don’t normally do this but my heart goes out to my friend. Besides……..I am proud of his priorities. Family and bills are our primary responsibility. Thank you kindly. </B> _________________ Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

  21. After watching this unfold for several years, I'm nearly certain at this point that if this doesn't happen almost immediately after the formation of the Iraqi government, we might as well glue the dinars to the wall to make interesting wallpaper for our friends to laugh at. We've been hearing excuse after excuse for more than a year now as to why it hasn't, and when it will happen - all of them wrong incidentally. The truth is that it needed to happen at least 6 months ago, if not longer, and the delays have done nothing but cause additional financial problems throughout the world. IF the RV is real, and we certainly hope that it is, the U.S. is not going to be able to delay it for anyone's conceived political gain, nor would they want to. This will be a world-changing event, and we are but a very small part of it. Every country needs it.....most of all Iraq. There is always a new excuse when the RV doesn't occur, but this is the lamest I've heard thus far.

  22. Who cares what foreigners believe? People act like the U.S. is the epitome of all that is wrong in the world, no one in the U.S. made Europe a declining socialist conglomerate, or Africa a text book case of third world corruption. Freedom is what makes this country great, and the callousness that flows from the rest of the world is not caused by this.

  23. Still think they need time for the public to "Realize" the effects of this event to try and take credit for it. I think it will happen sooner so they can get as much public exposure on their achievements (haha) in hopes of helping them on the elections. I will be voting all of the incumbents out anyway. Fun to watch though

  24. For any of you interested, I wanted to understand how a company working in Iraq gets paid by Iraq. The reasons are obvious. I had a very brief email to an Investor liaison in a large international corporation that has a project or two in Iraq. I do not know this person and approached my general question as an investor in his company. Take of it what you like. It added insight to my research in our Dinar investment and so I thought I would share it. I see no need to disclose who it was and to bug him or anyone else with further questions. I do plan on personally investing in his company at some point. ME: Hello xxxxxx, Congratulations on the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx contract. I was just wondering how xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx gets paid on these contracts with redeveloping nations. I know that Iraq doesn't even have an internationally recognized currency. So the process baffles me somewhat. Do they pay you in Dinar or in US dollars? It seems like quite a risk to me. Just wondering. I am a big fan of your company and appreciate all you guys do. Sure would appreciate helping me understand that transfer. Thanks for your time. Him: Thanks for your comments. Believe me, we take a very careful look at the risk associated with any potential job before we pursue it. In this case, the job will be executed by our office in the U.K. and so, per standard practice, we will be paid in pounds sterling. Jobs like this are typically done on a reimbursable basis, meaning that we bill the client monthly for the number of man-hours that have been devoted to the project. As a general rule, reimbursable contracts carry a reasonably low risk as compared to lump-sum/fixed-price contracts. Hope this helps. Regards,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I think the key is that some of these contracts are structured as reimbursable and that it varies per project. Reimbursable are billed monthly to limit risk in case they need to bail quickly for security or financial reasons. He specifically mentions man hours and not for the fixtures themselves. A lump sum contract is entirely different. Perhaps there could be more leverage/influence by a corporation with a government if the project need and fulfillment commitment were substantial and important enough to that country? I don't know. Guess we will see. I take from it that Iraq does pay in the contractor's country currency and not necessarily in IQD. This same principle should apply to repaying IMF debts and should put to bed the notion that they required payment only in an internationally recognized IQD. When the currency revalues it will be because it helps Iraq and the citizens. Paying for redevelopment projects helps both and is as good of a reason to RV as any. Wouldn't it make more sense though to RV and make it internationally recognized and make the payments universal for all projects? Make the contractor worry about converting to their preferred currency on their own accord through normal means. Thoughts? Drox

  26. I really like Breitling's posts and some of his theories. However this one I don't entirely agree with as far as putting off the RV for political purposes. Here's why: 1) If the dems were going to use this as a grand stage and milk this for the elections in November, it would make sense to get started much earlier. Not 30 days away from election day They need the time to get the word out and let Americans feel (financially) the RV. 2) The entire world is involved with this investment in iraq including power houses China, Europe etc. Delaying it to give some dems an advantage in November would not sit well with other world powers. 3) The White House and Biden have already acknowledged the Bush administration's strategy as sound... so this theory that they're going to steal credit for this is a bit absurd. Most Americans are not that stupid. 4) The people of Iraq need this more than anybody... delaying it risks civil war and future stability with only 50,000 troops staying behind. While this investment may take until the fall to RV... it won't be due to any political delay by the US. That's just political propaganda! Fingers are still crossed it's by mid August

  28. * Breitling Email to DD (Very Interesting!) July 21, 2010 · Posted in CHATS / POSTS TIDBIT: I received this email from Breitling. It’s amazing how, despite all the information I’ve been receiving, I could never let go of the late Sept – end of Oct time frame. Based on what I’ve received from my friend Breitling below, I am more convinced than ever that the window that takes us into October may very well be what we end up with. DrJ, you know I never doubted your intel. Only hope and wishful thinking helped me keep my eyes on the present. Regardless of what is shared guys, I’d suggest you keep it in your heads that there are those who are in power who march at the beat of their own drum, and they won’t be swayed regardless of what we perceive logically they should be doing. Keep your heads up. They are a very patient group who will act when they wish. And candidly, they don’t care about us. It’s all about THEIR agenda. We wait… – DD DD, I have the opportunity to talk to both groups out of Dubai in the past 24 hours, and both were very long conversations. Interestingly, they were asking about our Tax System and Political Elections coming up. I thought this was very interesting, and something we’ve discussed privately, but haven’t shared in the open forums. We’ve discussed the thought that Pres. Obama and the Democrats were handling this based on when the newly-passed Health Care taxes would start taking effect. And, we’ve even surmised the effects of how a new “distribution of wealth” would affect the elections for the Democrats. Seeing how the mid-term elections are coming up in November, that would seem to make sense, and these two topics were what my friends in Dubai were aware of and concerned about, though they didn’t have the understanding that went with that knowledge. The Arabs who were talking end of August stated to me this will RV end of sep to Oct 17th based on Bidens request. They found this out and wanted to know in detail about how he would benefit from this. The reasons they were given when acquiring this information, and when it was going to happen in this time frame were surrounding these two subjects, “Tax and Political”. This is amazing because you and I have talked about this based on your Intel for months, but we could not figure out why. Also I talked to one of my good friends this AM, and his best contact has always stated the same thing Oct 17th or just before. I consider these contacts the best that I have. And on the ground day-to-day happenings again Medic is second to none. One of the questions I have is, if Biden really did have a suitcase full of cash, then why would he need to pay any one off if they were about to RV? That made no sense to me at the time I received that information. However, if they had asked them to delay the RV for the reasons notated above, then the picture would be much more clear, assuming of course, that information was true and not purely speculation. The world markets will be propped up. Our national debt will be reduced. And, on a political note, the Democrats will be in a better position to campaign. because of this storybook success. Biden and Hillarious will be in Iraq frequently in the next few months as to let the world know they are the ones who spear head this new GOI and monetary policy, and put it in place, on President Obama’s request. Give me a call when you get a chance I should have more info as the day progresses. Warmest Regards, Breitling Tags: no tags

  30. Prospects of Iraqi blocs meetings in Erbil AK News - Thursday, July 22nd 2010 @ 3:02 PM Erbil, July 22 (AKnews) – The second meeting between the leaders of the Iraqi parliamentary blocs due to take place in Erbil ahead of the second parliamentary session is perceived differently by Iraqi politicians. The blocs are to meet next Sunday in Erbil but how many leaders would attend the meeting is yet known, said Haydar Mula, the Spokesman of al-Iraqia bloc led by Iyad Allawi, on Thursday. "The initiative by the Region's President, Massoud Barzani, to invite all the parties to gather in Erbil is a testimony for his determination to accelerate the formation of the next cabinet and to rescue Iraq from the current political vacancy ", he said. "Thanks to Kurdistan Factions Alliance (KFA)'s initiative, the issue of forming the government seems to be solved", he noted, appreciating Barzani's stance in his regard. According to Mula even before the first session of the parliament on June 14 the Iraqi political players were invited to take their negotiations to Erbil but some blocs under the pressure from the neighboring counties refused Barzani's call. As for the allocation of the three key Iraqi posts, the Spokesman of al-Iraqia stated "If the State of Law Coalition (led by the outgoing Prime Minister, Nuri al-Maliki) compromises for the prime minister position, maybe the blocs can come to terms with each other". Yet, Mula was of the opinion that the coalition would not back down from its demand, stressing that aside from coalition's conciliation for the post there would be no other political options to speed up government formation. On the other hand, Salah 'Obeidi, the Spokesman of Sadr Movement, led by Muqtada Sadr and allied with Iraqi National Alliance (INA), the third major parliamentary bloc, said that the leader of the movement would attend the meeting along with the other leaders, noting that it is the first time the leader of Sadr Movement visits Erbil "Though the political parties still confer but it is unlikely for them to work out an agreement in a near future", 'Obeidi said. Sadr Movement Spokesman blamed the blocs for the delay in government formation, hoping that they can resolve their disputes within the short time they are left with. "The parties seem to approach each other but it is difficult for them to come to terms on Sunday's meeting", 'Obeidi declared. Izzat Shabandar, a member of the State of Law Coalition pointed the finger at al-Iraqia list, blaming the bloc for the delay in constituting the next cabinet. "If al-Iraqia had nominated its parliament speaker candidate, we would not have been in this political limbo in Iraq", Shabandar said, advising al-Iraqia to forget about the prime minister position. On June 6 both Shiite blocs of INA led by Ammar al-Hakim and The State of Law Coalition merged, forming a new bloc called National Alliance. On July 10th their new alliance was formally declared. "INA and the State of Law Coalition will name their single prime minister candidate in a near future", he concluded. As the largest parliamentary bloc by wining 91 seats Al-Iraqia insists on its right to be entitled to from the new government. While the National Alliance of Maliki and Hakim may beat out the bloc for if they remain united they can become the largest bloc. The controversy over the largest bloc stems from the diverse interpretations by the Iraqi Federal Court of a constitutional article. The largest bloc might be the one which has secured the majority of the votes in the elections or the one formed after the elections out of the unification of two or more independent blocs.

  31. Mods: It looks like Taz and I posted this at the same time. Feel free to delete this one. marcod Post: zzz (Things Are in Order, Just Hold On) July 21, 2010 · Posted on another site Last post for today. Things are definitely hot right now. I know that we have all been waiting inpatiently but I say hold on just a bit longer. A little bit) Iraq although a bit rough has managed to overcome many hurdles in the recent year to get us closer to RV. As it relates to chapter VII this will come soon, and the RV. We all know that we have been hinging on the formation of the government or at least the seating of it. We know how crooked the officials and GOI has been. But I say that this is comming to a close within the week. RV…. in August. Hopefully earlier in August. However Ramadan will not effect when the RV happens. The rest of the world does not participate in this event only portions. This is a worldwide issue. As I have said before, the GOI is not going to be corncerned as much with payments to creditors, suppliers, or whiners that say they are owed money (Not trying to make fun of them, the people or in a bad circumstance), so the inferrance that they will be sure to pay GE on time is not a clear indicator of an RV. They will not pay them, end of story. There will be late fee associated with the payment when they do have the money and this late fee will be negotiated away. Now with seating of Government this should come very soon. I would now even lean to say within 2 days we will have concrete names and agreements to be able to move forward. This comes in light of the meeting with Sadr who is strong in the INA. the Sadrist and ISCI was basically the strength of Maliki since SOL only recieved 89 votes and Allai beat him. Well they don’t like Maliki. I don’t think some like Jafaari. They dont even like Allawi, but according to Sadr, Allawi makes the most sense overall and we have to look at the fact that Allawi’s platform is one of conssessions for everybody. He is promising to include everybody. The key words for Sadr is that “the meeting was “FRUITFUL”, meaning that there was something that was born from this meeting. Something tangeable. It is very akward to me but Sadr seemed to make a lot of sense in my opinion and was still painfully honest in his display of hatred for the Americans. Hey, I trust this guy. Sadr big concern is that he doesnt want the US/UN to force their hand which could ultimately leave them out of power completely. He and many others understand that if Allawi is PM that they will at least get to share in some of the decision making and power but it is obscure of what will happen if the UN has to decide. Within the next two days, look for a legitamate alliance between INA, the Kurds, and the List with the the three main posistions in place as called by Allawi (Allawi, Talibani, and HAqusotha whatever as speaker) It is possible that the same day of the seating or acceptance that the RV may happen. It will not be a waiting process because everyone has agreed on Iraq meeting conditions of lifting the chapter VII, (although they didnt but this is more about the global economy now, not ethics ) Look for this to happen all in one day. I know I have said that the UN will step in and it will happen before but this was prior to the meeting with Sadr. Now I have to retract my words and give a date of RV NLT Aug 3rd. I believe it will be before then.

  32. You people still don't get it. I don't care if you are conservative or liberal. I don't care what your political views are in the least and mine don't matter either. What I DO care about and what I come to this site for is news about the Iraqi dinar. It would be nice if you could keep the site to the purpose for which it is intended. It is called "Dinar Vets" not "Are You a Conservative or a Liberal". I simply don't want to have to weed through all the partisan crap to get to what I really came for. OK so, the Obama administration is going to tax the hell out of me when I finally do get my money from revalue. Can I get the money first???? Then we can discuss it. There really should be a section just for you guys to pump your political agenda so you will not be in the way of those of us who just want dinar news. At least title your posts appropriately so that those of us who do not want to read your dribble can avoid clicking on it.

  35. Of course they want Maliki, he's crooked and corrupt, they can put him in their pocket and next thing you know Iraq and Iran are one country...unreal. It's definitely time to do something about them. They surely don't want us to have Iraq as Air Space for Israel, so that is why they're throwing their crap up again. They've been a major part of the insurgency and battles theater wide, it's time.

  36. Sadrists: You must resolve the issue of the three presidencies during the next meeting Post: by zzz AK News - 07/22/2010 @ 10:48 Baghdad, July 22 (Okaniwz) - A member of the Sadrist movement, on Thursday, the deadline set by the House of Representatives for himself after postpone the hearing of the House of Representatives on Monday, will put all the political forces to the test, hard lesson from the national demonstrate that which is stores nationally and is the name of patriotism. He said Fawzi Akram Tarzi told Kurdistan News (Akaniwz) announced today that "the time for words is over and began the time of the acts and apply to all political promises and slogans that have filled the streets before the election." He said "the last chapter of each book is the most important, while the conflicts and differences between the political blocs is moving the country into the abyss as the national unity government took the last state to the precipice." As he put it. The tailor said that "there were delays by some parties, and this emphatically rejected," adding "we do not want to hold on Monday after extending for a further 15 days." He added that he "no longer only a few days to finalize the formation of the expected," noting that "there is a kind of refraction of the popular classes to the candidates, could lead to a popular uprising because of the deteriorating situation in Iraq." He says. And tailor that "the Iraqi street, hit the boredom of meetings and discussions that Atjdi useful," adding that "the popular classes today want to form a government and naming the three presidencies as soon as possible." Witness Monday July 26 to resume the next parliamentary session to vote on the first presidential candidate next, then the selection of the new deputies the Chairman of the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives for the first resumption of the meeting which was supposed to be held on July 14 last, because of the inability to reach political blocs to nominate three presidencies. The Iraqi List (91 seats) is still insisting on its right to form a government as a cluster of winning the election, while insisting coalition rule of law (89 seats) on the application of the interpretation of the Federal Court to rule 76 of the Constitution, which stipulates that the larger blocs are formed within the parliament have the right to form the next government. Did not reach the political blocs of winning the election so far solutions for the purpose of forming the government, while the dispute is about the eligibility of the entity authorized to form the government under more than one party holds that right, according to election results and the interpretation of Article 76 of the Iraqi Constitution. The results of the parliamentary elections of Iraq that took place last March has resulted in the progress of the Iraqi National List led by Iyad Allawi, by obtaining 91 seats, followed by a list of coalition rule of law, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to 89 seats, National Alliance 70 seats, the Kurdistan Alliance 43 seats.

  37. New parliament may review Maliki's performance Thursday, July 22nd 2010 11:18 AM Erbil, July 22 (AKnews) – An Iraqi politician urges the new parliament to review the performance of the outgoing Prime Minister, Nuri Maliki, who is also the leader without resorting to the Iraqi presidency and council of ministers. Haydar Mala, the Spokesman of al-Iraqia list, led by Iyad Allawi, speaking to AKnews on Thursday said that in the past four months the government confined itself to passing on some files, most of them suspected to be beyond government's authority to ratify, and the new parliament should review them. "The executive institutions of the government are still in effect with full authority and the delay in government formation is in their interest as right now the government's performance is not evaluated by the parliament or the presidency council", he added. "The ministries are outdated and constitutionally have no authorities because 30 days after the general elections in the country the chosen lawmakers should have met to name the parliament speaker and his two deputies", said the political commentator, Tariq Harb, expanding on the reason for the independence of the government from the council of ministers in taking decisions. "Later on, the president had to be elected by a majority vote and he would also entrust the head of the winning parliamentary bloc to from the new government in 30 days but it is four months that the current government is outdated", he added. The new parliament has the right to review the performance of the former government, provided that the majority of the lawmakers back the call, according to Harb. The Iraqi parliamentary elections took place on March 7 and on 26 the same month the results were announced. However, since then the parliament has met only once as the blocs have failed to reach an agreement for the formation of the government. Lh (AKnews) http://www.aknews.com/en/aknews/4/166380/

  38. Hfdmedic..........Man did you get straight to the real intent of this! Excellent analysis or your part. I have saved a great big (+) plus for you. I actually do like what E has tried to do. I do read all his stuff when posted. I don't have his book. So I am not really trying be to critical of him. I liked his stuff when he was here. His analysis helped myself and many others to form a foundation of knowledge and understanding to really start to learn more about what is happening with this investment. But, as the say in television. Enorrste has "jumped the shark". He used to present himself with alot more humility. More of a theologian with a passion for analysis. That was good. So what do we have now? Well, he has been banned from 3 sites that I know of. He used to stay away from "intel". Now he has it coming from everywhere! He always stuck with facts and quotes in the past. Now, if he does not have the facts that he needs to support his commentary, he draws conclusions and presents them as facts. Lets not forget the questionable partnership with TerryK. Now to add to the excellent point made here by hfdmedic, he is adding self promotion. In truth, we all like to see someone take a swing at predicting a rate or a date. It is part of what makes coming to these websites more interesting and fun. If you think about it.........A by product of reading stuff from E, Med,Scooter,groovgal and others creates conversations here. From these conversations, many of us have had an opportunity to create some new friendships that we would not otherwise have had. And that is a very good thing indeed! Thanks Trimark........See good things can happen from pushing some of us to the edge! (+) Thanks hfdmedic...... Way to use someones own words to make your point. Nothing is more effective. (+) Thanks Doc31........ I knew you would appreciate that (+) All the best, Lgraham

  40. Obama has no philosophy. He is an opportunist like all the other progressives. He wants to redistribute our wealth. I don't see him redistributing his wealth or any of George Soros' wealth. It is all about power. He (Soros) wants to control us and ultimately the world. Obama is a lackey for Soros.

The fact of the matter is..that the rest of the 95% of us are fighting for the other 5% that's left. Do you actually think that they care who gets the lions share of that 5%?!!

  46. Before It’s Too Late … Posted on 21 July 2010. Markets hate uncertainty, but history has shown us that times of uncertainty create the greatest opportunities. Warren Buffett’s famous saying, “be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful”, is true whether referring to the stock market or to risk-taking in general. And Iraq is giving us plenty of risk and uncertainty at the moment: Security: What will happen when US combat forces are withdrawn? Government: Who will eventually win this titanic battle? Did Tuesday’s meeting in Damascus between the secular Ayad Allawi and anti-U.S. Shia’ite Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr bring us any closer to a resolution? Hydrocarbon law: As we’ve reported, both al-Maliki and Allawi are committed to honouring the existing contracts, but will the Supreme Court uphold them as valid? We’ll update you on this as soon as the Court makes a ruling. But the fact that these issues are coming to a head now means that they will be resolved sooner rather than later. Companies like ExxonMobil and BP are not letting these factors delay their plans, while others are seeing this as exactly the right time to get into Iraq. Instead of waiting for everything to be resolved, the French government, for example, is building a heavily fortified business centre and boutique hotel where businessmen can sleep, eat and work in safety. They’re not ignoring the risks, but they’re seizing the opportunities while they are still available. http://www.iraq-busi...raq&x=0&y=0&=Go

  48. No one on this site will or can make that decision for you. You have to do your own research and decide for yourself. Everything you need to know if right here on this site. Just as you would research any other investment, this is exactly the same. It is an investment nothing more. Good luck on your research
